>From what we know is that there was a John Nichols and wife Mary from Jamestown and they had two sons, Nathaniel and Willis. Nathaniel might have been born about 1720 and Willis the younger brother.? They both eventually came down into NC. Nathaniel Nichols later had a son born in the 1750s also named Nathaniel.I also heard they mave have then moved out of NC. My Nichols relatives who are searching are not able, but think Willis is in our line, but cuurently can not conect him and we are stuck here. Barbara Nichols Mulder is aware of this and may have more details on this. I hope this helps and I hope you can find something out to help us.

Hi Peter and Carol, I haven't heard of the John and Mary Nichols from Jamestown with sons Willis and Nathaniel. I'd love to know the source for this family, if anyone has more info. The parents I show for Willis and Nathaniel Nichols (the Nathaniel b. ca1720 - d. 1755 in Bertie Co.) are Richard Nichols and wife Martha. Richard left a will dated 20 Jan 1721 (signed Richard Nickles), which was proved 3 May 1721 in Princess Anne Co., VA. I have a microfilmed copy. In this will he states "I dew give & bequeave my lands to my sons Willis Nicholas & Nathaniel Nicholis to be ekilly divided in quantity between them when the oldest of these my two sons comes to ye: age of twenty one years but my youngest son Nathl: to have his first coys (believe he meant choice)." This will was witnessed by Anthony Webb and Thomas Wiles/Miles. On 2 Jan 1722, Martha Nichols gave her two sons several household items in a deed of gift, to be given to them when they each reach the age of 21, or at her decease. Again, this deed was witnessed by Anthony Webb and Nathaniel Nickles. I assume this is a different Nathaniel than her son, but if it was her son Nathaniel, then he would have been b. by 1708. Children 14 and older could witness documents (according to the genealogy guidebook, The Source, by L. D. Szucs and S. H. Luebking). In both documents, Richard and Mary mentioned that Nathaniel was the younger child. According to researcher Danny Knight, Martha and her sons moved from VA to what was then Chowan Co. ca 1735. I tried years ago to contact him without success, so do not know what source he used for that 1735 date. However, on 18 Dec 1738, Anthony Williams (through his attorney John Wynns) sold 570 acres "to Willis Nichols of Princess Anne Co., Virginia, on the n. side of Ahosky Swamp" (Bertie Co. Deed Bk F). John Jones had been the original owner of this land. This is the earliest court document I can find mentioning Willis Nichols. Willis Nichols is listed in the Hertford Co. militia in 1767 and 1769. I believe this is a son of the elder Willis, since I have Nathaniel's brother Willis as b. bef 1716, and he'd be in his 50's by 1767. I believe it is this younger Willis who was granted the bounty land in Person Co. in 1784, and moved there with his family. He d. in Person Co. in 1813, another reason I suspect he was a son of the Willis who was the brother of Nathaniel of Bertie Co. Willis who moved to Person Co., NC, had a son named Willis, b. 1785, d. bef 1850 in Madison Co., TN. I've been trying to connect these Nichols men to the Nathaniel Nichols who d. in Caldwell Co. in 1834 and my Wright Nichols of Hertford Co., who d. in 1846. I suspect the records to prove their connection went up in flames in the Hertford Co. courthouse fires! Linda [1]cville36@aol.com wrote: Linda & Carol, Good to hear from you!? When Carol listed a Nathaniel Nicols in her line immdia tely bells went off in my head, as I recall that you as well as Barbara were ki nd of stuck on proving out the connection to ?Nathaniel and Willis Nichols. So I thought perhaps Carol might have some new information on this for us. So do you think that Carol's Nathaniel Nichols is the same is the Nathaniel and Willis Nichols we are looking for? Also, I thought there were two Nathaniel Nichols. The first son of John and Mar y Nichols from VA which also had the brother Willis. Then I thought that this N athaniel had a son in 1759ish also named Nathaniel? If you an clarify this would be of great help.

I've been researching this line for several years. This Nathaniel Nichols came from Hertford Co., and was b. abt 1749, was d. by 21 Oct 1834. Some researchers have guess his birth at around 1775, but in 1805, he was exempted from taxes due to old age (Christian Co. Order Book 1805-1809). His first wife is unknown, but he had four proven children b. bef. 1791 by her, and a fifth that is presumed his but not proven. His second wife was Susannah Ward, widow of James Newsom (also from Hertford Co.). They had four children together. After Susannah died, Nathaniel married Mary Edrington in 1830, but she sued him for divorce in 1831. No children from this union. Peter, we talked a few years ago. Nathaniel Nichols of Bertie Co. had a brother, Willis. I believe that Nathaniel Nichols from Hertford Co. is a son of Willis Nichols, but still searching for evidence to prove it. In Caldwell Co., KY, both Nathaniel Nichols from Hertford Co. b. ca 1749, and Nathaniel, son of Josiah Nichols from Bertie Co., b. ca 1775, lived in the Lewiston area, so I do think they were related but haven't been able to prove it yet.
